How Do I Play this work of genius?

Now you're talking! Well my friend, you can forget about any musical training you might have taken because you don't need any. No siree, there's nothing more simple than playing 'I Can Only Give You
Everything'. As a matter of fact I'm merely wasting my time telling you how to play the song but you never know, maybe there really is someone out there in need of some assistance. OK, just grab a guitar and
take note:

Intro:

Fuzz riff: G-C-F played on the 6th, 5th & 4th string of your guitar in the 3rd position. Got that? I told you it was easy! Now get hold of some friends who play a little bass & guitar and tell 'em to enter after the
3rd time.

Verse I:
G          C      F     G                  C        F      G    C F G C F
I Can't Give You More Than What I've Got
G                C         F    G              C   F      G    C F G C F
You Can't Expect To Get What I Have Not
G C F   G      C        F             G                      C     F       G      C F
I........ Can Only Give You Lovin' Til The Sun Goes Down
G      C F G C        F                 G                           C           F   G        C F
And........Until The Leaves Of Summer Turn To Shades Of Brown

Chorus:
C                D
I Try And I Try
C                                        D
But Baby You Know That I
                                   G       C      F G C F
Can Only Give You Everything

Verse II:

Now ask your friendly neighbor on organ to drop in. The notes are the same as verse I so I won't repeat 'em here.

Chorus:
Just the same as the first chorus.

Solo:
The organ plays a solo over the G C F part 7 times and then comes the tricky part because the key changes to G#. No worry, I'll explain! After 7 times G C F you play a D# and from then on the riff changes to G#
C# F#.

Verse III:
G# C# F#    G#     C#   F#            G# C# F# G# C# F#
I'll Do Anything You Want Me To Do
G#                  C#         F# G#            C#      F# G#     C# F# G# C# F#
'Cause I Don't Want To Know This Life Without You
G# C# F# G#           C# F#       G#                         C#        F# G# C# F#
Oh..........Don't Ever Go And Leave Me In This World Alone
G# C# F# G# C#        F#      G#                     C# F#   G#   C# F#
I'd.......... be Like A Little Child If I Was On My Own

Chorus:

C#                D#
I Try And I Try
C#                                       D#
But Baby You Know That I
                                   G#       C#      F# G# C# F#
Can Only Give You Everything

Coda:

Continue to play the G# C# F# riff.

That's it! Now put it all together!!! You just learned how to play the greatest song ever written. I told you it was easy.
